To get to 150, which will put me back in a "normal" bmi range (only 2.2 lbs to go)
Then to 145, my pre-pregnancy weight from January 2016
Then to 142, my pre-pregnancy weight from October 2013.
Then 137, which is my lowest weight in my adult life.
From there, ultimate goal is somewhere in the 120s.

Wow - this is nearly me, what I have as my goals and ultimate goals !
150 - is the top end of my height weight range
135 - is half way and we’re I feel slim at
129 - is the lowest I have ever got back to in 35 years
124 - is what I weighed before I got married at 18 ! No chance of being there again!

Keep up the good work.

lost 30 lbs this years, going to the beach In a couple of weeks and try not to gain weight on vacation, I have gained up to 7 lbs on vacation before so need to be cautious.

I have a series of mini weight related goals coming up. 1) Weigh less than my husband. He is currently 155, I'm at 157. 2) get to pre-pregnancy weight of 152 (that was 5 years ago) 3) get under 150.

I only have 10-12 lbs more to lose I think so these micro goals will keep me going, especially with a vacation easter and birthdays coming up.

To get back to my original starting weight from the first time I started tracking weight and "swore to lose weight" 10 years ago..... I lost 5Kg that time, but quickly found it again and then some. I've put on weight every year since then.... I'm just over 2Kg away from that goal now.
I feel like I'm finally in the zone, I have managed to remove 10kg of unwanted weight from my body since November 😁
After that, my next mini goal is my lightest weight as an adult. That would be the 5Kg less than my original starting weight that I had lost.

So I've got my first mini goal. My next mini goal is to get under 90. I'm at 92 as of Monday. Have been stuck in the 92kg range for a couplenof weeks, but I know that I will get there if I keep persevering. I'm expecting a whoosh soon as I gained almost 2kg a couple of weeks back (had gotten down to 90.5, but that was a massive loss so expected to gain some of it back) and I have taken 300grams off since then, so I'm waiting for it to all catch back up.

Family pictures scheduled for next week. We haven't had a family picture in years, and it's probably at least partially because I haven't been happy with how I looked. That makes me feel selfish and awful.

So glad this thread is still going because I had a bad day today. Not really my bad day, but because it was bad for the people I love and care about. I've always put myself after the ones I love, people I care about, even strangers in need. But I have finally vowed to myself (at 45) to care for myself, too. I was thin most of my life, got pregnant (to my immense joy) at 36, had complications and became bed ridden and gained almost 100 pounds. Still achieved in so many aspects of my life, but not really when it came to me...my son was sick so often (and I am thankful every day that he is so much better) and my mom passed away, and my dad is in so much pain. Gave up a professional career to make life better for everyone, which no one asked me to do, but it was needed...and a part of me had a really hard time accepting this...and my weight just crept up on me. I've been on MFP since I had my son, when I was desperate to lose a lingering 50 pounds. I've gained 30 pounds since then. But when I sprained my back, and still struggled to do for everyone else, I had a wake up call. My best at my worst was not helping anyone. So I finally bought the spin bike I have wanted for years, I told my son Mommy needs to exercise now so if you need something either tell me now, get it for yourself or wait until I'm done. And even though my son was (unfortunately but oh so much better than before) home sick this week, I still rode my bike and pushed myself...and he cheered me on when I was out of breath but reaching the 100rpm in my beginner training program. I can't even tell you how great that made me feel. He wants me to to be healthy even than more than I think even I want it. I always used to wait until I was alone to exercise before, just not doing it if it wasn't possible, which for too long was the case, so this was a huge step for me. And before anyone worries, while he had a rough go at it, he is a happy healthy boy now, and antibiotics are all that's needed right now. But I finally gave myself permission to think about me, and I lost 3 pounds in a week (not by starving or over working out as in my youth). Not much compared to what I need to lose, but the fact that I lost it instead of gaining it has been such a boost. And today I had no time for me, but I still got 16,000+ steps in, which made up some for not working out. After my son cheered me on I changed my goals from trying to lose all the weight I gained to losing 15 pounds. And I am 20% towards my goal which pushes me to keep going. Then will come the next 15. So much more satisfying than the 60+ goal I have before me. Sorry for the long post, but it's been a bad day. And thank you for the outlet. This post resonates even 4 years after.

Thank you for sharing ‘a problem shared is a problem cut in half’ Keep up the hard work and be kind to yourself, progress not perfection.

Reading these threads is sort of a mini goal, the goal being - KEEP BEING HERE. Stay focused and read posts, I've been working hard since Jan 1 and I've been wandering off my path over the last few weeks. All of your posts keep me motivated so my goal is to be HERE, and celebrate others' wins and motivate others who need a little push to keep going. 26lb down....40 to go.

I’ve been fluctuating within the 230s for 10 days or so and hoping to get below 230 for the first time in 2+ years, so I’ll set a mini goal of 232 (234.6 this morning) and then 229. Tomorrow morning I’m running in a 10K race for the first time and I’m actually pretty excited. I’ve been diligently increasing my distance the past six weeks which culminated with a 7 mile run this past Saturday. Another goal is to finish in under an hour but I think I’ll probably be closer to 55 minutes.

My next mini goal is to get back under the Navy Standard weight max for my height of 181! 10 more pounds to go. I had to leave the military 7 years ago because of my weight and my speed. After 3 years of running I started tackling the diet this year and shedding 20 and now 30 pounds I'm also really close to being able to run under the standard time for a mile and a half. I never thought I'd see these times, or scale numbers again!

Starting C25K again tomorrow. Started in January then broke my toe at week 4 (stubbed toe on puppy crate). Since then life been hectic with new puppy, staying active but not been able to get to gym so decided gonna start C25K from the start running outside this time. Should be able to fit in 30 minutes walk/run when other half home or puppy sleeping. Aim to run with dog (German shepherd) when she’s old enough. 10 weeks to being a runner, fingers crossed no injuries this time.

My current mini goal is to survive my 4km jog/walk tomorrow, lol. Got to start somewhere, eh. It motivates me that it'll feel flippin' amazing when I do it tomorrow!

EDIT: Will feel flippin' amazing after* I do it tomorrow, lol.

My mini goal is to make it into the 370's. ( currently 381)

Onderland. It's still a ways away, but I'm progressing.

rldeclercq4

Trying to get under 230 for good (within the next 7-10 days).

My mini goal is also about BMI (yes, I know BMI isn't the be-all end-all), but I have seven pounds to go before I move from the Obese to Overweight category. This is a huge milestone for me psychologically and I want to hit it by the end of May.

6 weeks until we go on our first family holiday abroad in so many years and I want to lose at least 7 pounds and get back to my pre Christmas weight then hopefully carry on with the journey to goal. It's been a real struggle since I went too far at Christmas and I keep losing and regaining the same few pounds.

My actual mini mini goal is to try and be under or on my calorie target this week (I go by Mondays to Sundays) which I've only managed to do three times this year

17x.x is what I’m working hard for!! Only a couple away but it’s been one of those giant mental sticking points!

eromligyppah

Getting out of the 200's, I just wanna see 199, it would be such a boost in motivation.

Started MFP on 12/1/18 at 172.6, currently at 151.6 (21 lbs lost)
Goal is 120 (total of 52.6 lbs)

I started on September 22nd of last year at 433.6 pounds. Lately I had been working to hit the 100 lb down mark before my brother's wedding on the 23rd so I could say I hit 100 in 6 months. I hit 100.8 so I got that one. Now my mini goal is to try and get under 300 before 5/4. It's really agressive (just over 5 lbs/week), but since I cut out diet sodas a month ago I have a ton of extra energy and almost no food cravings throughout the day like I did before so its really ramped up my weight loss and I want to try to take advantage of it and push myself.

I don't think I'm going to make it to this goal so I have readjusted and I'm going to try and hit 125 down by that date. Need 8.8 pounds in 2 weeks.

I met my first goal about two weeks ago, now working on that 145. I have been hovering around 148 for the past week.

Buying a new swimsuit and looking good in it this summer! I bought one last year for a cruise we went on and it was so ugly but I was desperate for anything that would fit. I wore it last night to get in the hot tub and the bottoms were falling off. I want to get a new swimsuit I like that’s flattering and actually fits!

hesn92

I'm pregnant. My current goal is to only gain 35 lbs. I am sitting at a gain of 20 lbs and I've got roughly 13 weeks left, so I'm pretty sure I'll stay under goal. I gained 65lbs during my last pregnancy!

Well the Husband was lower than he though so that goal became the same as the 152 goal. I am at 153, so super duper close with under 150 in sight.
